HOW-TO:Fix new controller detected dialog

The first time you press a button on the NVidia Shield controller, Kodi asks "An unknown controller has been detected. Would you like to setup the controller?"

To fix this, select No in the dialog. If you select Yes, the dialog will be shown again.

HOW-TO:Fix double button presses

The NVidia SHIELD controller shows up as two devices. To fix double button presses, remove the button map for the second device.

The first device (Xbox 360-compatible controller), is an XInput device. All XInput devices share the same button map, so don't delete this.

The second device (NVIDIA Shield) is a DirectInput device. Locate the device's button map using information from HOW-TO:Share button maps and delete it, then restart Kodi.
